일반적으로 유역에서 발생하는 토양손실은 붕괴사면과 표면침식, 토사류 붕괴에 의한 운반, 하상의 침식등 자연적인 요인과 도로건설, 산림의 벌채, 단지개발 등 인위적인 원인으로 발생할 수 있다. 토양손실의 발생은 농업생산성을 떨어뜨리고 목초지를 손상시키며, 물의 흐름을 방해하여 홍수위 상승, 저수지의 저수용량 감소, 고탁수 등 다양한 문제를 야기 시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해선 우선 토양손실 발생의 위험지역을 선정하고 그 지역을 집중적으로 관리하는 적절한 관리 대책의 마련이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강유역 전체를 대상유역으로 선정하고 토양손실 발생에 영향을 주는 여러 요소중 도시화나 농경지 확장 등 인간의 인위적인 개발로 인해 쉽게 변경될 수 있는 토지이용도를 이용하여 세부적으로 분석하였다. 토지이용도를 구성하고 있는 총 8가지의 토지이용항목 중 다른 항목들에 비해 분포면적이 매우 작은 녹지, 습지, 나지를 제외한 5가지의 항목(시가화, 논, 밭, 산림, 수역)의 분포면적을 통해 토지 이용특성에 따른 유사발생의 연관성을 파악하였으며 유역별 유사발생 위험순위를 평가하였다. 유사발생 위험순위 평가결과, 전체 낙동강유역내 유사발생 위험성이 높은 표준유역들로 구성되어있는 중권역은 내성천, 위천합류점, 합천댐유역, 안동댐유역으로 모두 높은 순위를 차지했다. 내성천유역, 위천합류점 유역, 합천댐유역은 구성하고 있는 표준유역의 절반 이상이 높은 순위들로 구성되어 있으며 안동댐유역은 구성하고 있는 소수의 표준유역이 유역내 최상위 순위를 차지하였다.

It is one of the most critical steps identifying impaired waterbodies exactly in the selection of target water quality indicators for the management of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Excess ratio and excess level were applied and analyzed by the stream zone basis in order to evaluate water impairment for Nakdong, Geum, Youngsan and Seomjin rivers. Each river basin was divided into stream zones in the light of its watershed and waterbody characteristics. Selected water quality parameters discussed in this study were pH, DO, BOD, COD, SS, T-P, T-Coli and F-Coli. The excess ratios of the water quality parameters were used to discriminate water bodies that did not meet water quality standards. The excess levels were used to classify the degradation of water quality. The excess ratios and the excess levels to the water quality criteria of the medium influence areas were used for each stream zone. The results indicate that the excess ratios and the excess levels are varied on the stream zone in each river basin. Three parameters, pH, DO and SS, met water quality standards in all stream zones. The other five parameters indicated very high excess ratios in most waterbodies, and especially T-P and T-Coli revealed to be very high excess levels in some waterbodies. These parameters could be considered as major target indicators for the management of TMDLs.

The inflow of nonpoint pollution sources due to sustainable development and urbanization is gradually increasing and causes a diversity of water pollution. There are lots of difficulties to find a solution as the problems related to variation of hydrological and natural phenomenon. A differentiated method to estimate the nonpoint pollution sources has been proposed using rainfall and characteristics of urbanization and observed data from sewage treatment districts in the study. The types of nonpoint pollution sources on an assumption of combined sewer system have been classified as three types which are inflow of rainfall, bypass of sewage treatments, and combined sewer overflows from a river. Three types for estimation of nonpoint pollution sources applied more accurately to generate a amount of nonpoint pollution loads. This study is expecting a wide application for effective water resource management on TMDL (total maximum delivery load) unit watershed and sewage treatment districts.

비점오염의 특성에 대해 지속적으로 연구 중이지만 수문특성과 연관성이 크다 보니 그 일관성에 대해 확실한 기법이 개발되지 않았다. 기법 개발과 효과적인 오염원 관리를 위해 SWMM 등의 모형을 활용하고 있지만 투입된 노력과 시간에 비해 그 효율성이 매우 적은 편이다. 이런 부분을 보완하고자 본 논문에서는 기존의 비점오염량 산정방법이 아니라 낙동강유역의 도시화 특성 및 수문/기상자료와 처리장 운영자료를 활용한 차별화된 원단위법을 통해 비점 배출 부하량 산정방법을 제시하려고 한다. 배수구역 내 관거 시스템을 합류식으로 가정하였고 배수구역별 비점 발생형태는 하수처리장의 강우 유입량, 하수처리장의 우회유량(Bypass 유량), 하수처리구역의 CSO 유량 3가지로 구분 지었다. 유입 방류자료와 강우자료를 활용하여 임계강우량을 3mm로 설정하여 3mm이상일 경우에 우회유량이 발생한다고 가정하였고 우회유량 발생시 오염부하량 산정은 건기평균유량에 유량변동부하율을 곱하여 시간최대유량으로 전환한 후 강우 지속기간 동안만 우회유량이 발생하는 것으로 가정하였다. CSO 유량은 처리구역/배수구역 면적비에 따라 3개의 그룹으로 구분한 뒤 검증된 SWMM-온천천 모형의 각 소유역별 불투수면적비와 비교하여 유사한 소유역을 각 그룹의 대표유역으로 선정하였다. 선정된 소유역의 CSO 유량과 수문현상의 비선형적인 관계를 고려할 수 있는 신경망 기법을 적용하여 강우특성에 따른 CSO 오염부하량 산정을 실시하였다. 산정결과를 바탕으로 각 하수처리장별 비점저감 기여율을 산정한 결과 대구북부 처리장에서 21.56%로 가장 높은 효율을 보여줬으며 거창가조 지점에서 0.11%로 가장 낮은 효율을 보여주는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 낙동강유역 내 위치한 하수처리장의 효율성에 대해 알 수 있으며 개선되어야 할 처리장들을 알 수 있었다. 또한 획일화된 방법이 아닌 차별화된 원단위법을 통한 오염부하량 산정은 앞으로의 연구방향에 있어서 좋은 사례가 될 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was evaluated on achievement of the Target water quality (TWQ) with Load Duration Curve (LDC) as well as materials collected through the implementation of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), targeting 41 unit watersheds in the Nakdong River Basin in korea, and examines the adequacy of the LDC method to evaluate the TWQ by comparing methods through current regulations. It aims to provide basic materials for TMDL development in Korea. This determination resulted from the fact that the measured data placed on the LDC mean that they are beyond TWQ in a certain condition of water flow when actually measured load values were displayed in a form of LDC. In addition to water quality surveys, it is considered that information on the level of damage in a water body by water flow grade can be utilized as a basic material to identify compliance with the total admitted quantity, and establish rational plans to improve water quality. This information helps in the identification of the degree of damage in water quality according to water flow.

최근 수십 년 동안 전 세계의 거의 모든 하천 유역은 기후변화와 인간 활동에 의해 직간접적으로 영향을 받았다. 특히, 유역 유출량은 기후변화와 인간 활동의 상호작용으로 수자원 분야에서 문제가 되고 있다. 기후와 인간 활동에 의해 변화하는 환경에서 수자원을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서 유출량의 변화를 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역의 22개 중권역을 대상으로 과거 관측자료 및 미래 기후변화 시나리오의 유출량, 강수량, 기온, 잠재 증발산량 및 실제 증발산량 자료를 이용하여 기후변화와 인간 활동이 유출량에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 과거 관측자료를 분석할 경우, 기초자료인 유출량의 경향성 및 유의성을 검증하기 위해 비모수적 방법인 Mann-Kendall 검증을 수행하였으며, Pettitt method를 이용하여 변화 지점을 결정하여 기준기간과 사후기간으로 구분하였다. 또한 Budyko 가설 기반 기후 탄력성 접근법을 이용하여 기후변화와 인간 활동이 하천 유출량에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분리하였다. 미래 RCP 시나리오 자료를 분석할 경우에도 기간을 나누고 기후 탄력성 접근법을 이용하여 유출량의 영향을 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 기후변화와 인간 활동의 상대적 기여도는 중권역 간에도 다양하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 미래의 유출량을 분석한 결과, 대부분의 유역에서 기후변화의 기여도는 RCP 4.5일 때에 비해 RCP 8.5에서 더 크게 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 과거 기간(1966~2020)에 대하여 미래 기간 (2062~2099)에 대한 분석에서 중권역 중 금호강(#2012)은 RCP 4.5에서는 22.4%, RCP 8.5에서는 39.8%로 RCP 8.5가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Naturalized populations of two alien plants were newly found, and we describe their morphological characteristics and habitats with photographs. One is a member of Juncaceae, Juncus torreyi Coville, and was newly found at a pool of a beach in Gangwon-do. This rush is native to North America and belongs to the sect. Ozophyllum (subgen. Juncus) according to certain morphological characteristics, such as its racemose inflorescence, the absence of floral bracteole, and unitubular leaves with perfect septa. J. torreyi is easily distinguishable from Korean rushes by its long rhizomes with swollen nodes and globular head with 25-100 flowers. Its introduction into Japan and Europe was reported, but the ecological risk associated with its over-dispersal is not known. The other alien plant is a submerged plant, Egeria densa Planch. (Hydrocharitaceae), which was found in streams in Gyeongsangbuk-do and ditches in the Busan-si area, both of which being in the watershed of the Nakdong River. Egeria densa is similar to Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle, which is native to Korea. However, it is distinguished from H. verticillata by its larger flowers and lack of overwintering organs. This alien plant is native to South America and was introduced for aquarium gardening and naturalized around the world. Egeria densa is treated as a malignant weed due to its asexual reproduction and rapid growth. Size changes and the number of populations of E. densa must be investigated.

This study aims to establish basic data for efficient management of rural water by analyzing regional irrigation facilities and benefitted areas in the statistical yearbook of land and water development for agriculture at the watershed level. For 511 domestic rural water use areas, water storage facilities (reservoirs, pumping & drainage stations, intake weirs, infiltration galleries, and tube wells) are spatially distributed, and the benefitted areas provided at the city/county level are divided by water use area to provide agricultural water supply facilities. The characteristics of rural water district areas such as benefitted area, were analyzed by basin. The average area of Korea's 511 rural water districts is 19,638 ha. The average benefitted area by rural water district is 1,270 ha, with the Geum River basin at 2,220 ha and the Yeongsan River basin at 1,868 ha, which is larger than the overall average. The Han River basin at 807 ha, the Nakdong River basin at 1,121 ha, and the Seomjing River basin at 938 ha are smaller than the overall average. The results of this basic analysis are expected to be used to set the direction of various supply and demand management projects that take into account the rational and scientific use and distribution of rural water and the characteristics of water use areas by presenting a quantitative definition of Korea's agricultural water districts.

A recent topic of interest within ecology is ecosystem services that are importantly connected with biodiversity. Biodiversity is a fundamental component of ecological studies and has been the subject of many studies worldwide. However, studies on the diversity and distribution of freshwater fish were not undertaken in earnest until 2000, and the number of internationally available studies is therefore still limited. In this study, we used data from "The Survey and Evaluation of Aquatic Ecosystem Health (hereafter SEAEH)" within the framework of which whole water systems on the Korean peninsula are annually monitored to investigate and determine the current status of the diversity and distribution of freshwater fish, as well as to elucidate major factors impacting freshwater fish. A total of 130 species from 28 families were identified at around 953 sites in the SEAEH investigation of 2014. The species Zacco platypus (relative abundance: 28.2%) and Z. koreanus (19.3%) were identified as the most abundant species on the Korean peninsula, and besides these 20 endangered species, 51 endemic species and 4 exotic species were also collected. Highest (96 species) and lowest (72 species) diversity were identified in the Han River Watershed and the Yeongsan/Seomjin River Watershed, respectively. The mean endemic rate was 32.7%, which is higher than the previous rate determined in 1995. The exotic species Micropterus salmoides, Lepomis macrochirus and Carassius cuvieri were found in the whole river system except north Yeongdong, whereas Oreochromis niloticus occurred only at three sites due to the cold water temperatures in winter. Totally, 28 species were found to be translocated to different water systems not connected with known original habitats, most translocations occurring in the Nakdong River and the Yeongdong region. Among the translocated species, Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, and Erythroculter erythropterus were dominantly distributed in the mid- to lower reaches of Nakdong River where they may be harmful to the native fish assemblages due to their strong predation. The construction of weirs in connection with the "4 River Project" generated changes in fish assemblages before, during and after the project, resulting in altered habitat condition. Especially, a decrease in the number of endemic species and an increase in the abundance of lentic species were seen. Human-induced global warming will allow exotic species requiring high water temperatures to adapt to the environmental conditions of the Korean peninsula, which may enhance the diversity of native fishes and create changes in distribution. For the establishment of realistic and efficient management and protection strategies for Korean freshwater fish, SEAEH, which produces fundamental and quantitative data for Korean streams, is an important and necessary tool.

Aggregates from 84 cities and counties in Korea were tested for quality to allow analysis of the physical characteristics of aggregates from river, land, and forest environments. River and land aggregates were analyzed for 18 test items, and forest aggregates for 12 test items. They were classified according to watershed and geology, respectively. The observed physical characteristics of the river aggregates by basin were as follows: aggregates from the Geum River basin passed through 2.5, 1.2, 0.6, 0.3, 0.15, and 0.08 mm sieves; clay lumps constituted the Nakdong River basin material; aggregates from the Seomjin River basin passed through 10, 5, and 2.5 mm sieves; those from the Youngsang River basin passed through 1.2, 0.6, 0.3, 0.15, and 0.08 mm sieves; and aggregates from the Han River basin passed through 10, 5, 2.5, 1.2, 0.6, 0.3, and 0.08 mm sieves, Stability; Standard errors were analyzed for the average amount passing through 10, 0.6, and 0.08 mm silver sieves, and performance rate showed different distribution patterns from other physical characteristics. Analysis of variance found that 16 of the 18 items, excluding the absorption rate and the performance rate, had statistically significant differences in their averages by region. Considering land aggregates by basin, those from the Nakdong River basin excluding the Geum River basin had clay lumps, those from the Seomjin River basin had 10 and 5 mm sieve passage, aggregates from the Youngsang River basin had 0.08 mm sieve passage, and those from the Han River basin had 10, 0.6, and 0.08 mm sieve passage. The standard error of the mean of the quantity showed a different distribution pattern from the other physical characteristics. Analysis of variance found a statistically significant difference in the average of all 18 items by region. Analyzing forest aggregates by geology showed distributions of porosity patterns different from those of other physical characteristics in metamorphic rocks (but not igneous rocks), and distributions of wear rate and porosity were different from those of sedimentary rocks. There were statistically significant differences in the average volume mass, water absorption rate, wear rate, and Sc/Rc items by lipid.
